Naples Price Per Square Foot in September 2026
At a glance
Naples buyers paid a median $329 per square foot in September 2026, 2.5% more than a year earlier. The median sale price rose 5.1% over the same year, so higher sale prices came with a higher price paid per square foot.
Naples price per square foot is now above last year, after more than a year of busier buyers and fewer homes for sale. In September, contracts dipped below last year for the first time in 16 months, which is one preliminary month to watch. For the regional picture, see the September 2026 Southwest Florida pending sales report.
September's InfoSparks figures from the Florida Gulf Coast MLS (FGCMLS via Stellar MLS) are preliminary. We will update this report following the October 10 data pull and revise any affected comparisons or conclusions. Matrix listing counts and property histories reflect the October 1 snapshot. MLS records can change as more information is reported, so comparisons use the latest records and earlier months can differ from figures published before.

Naples Contracts Led, Supply Followed and Prices Came Last
A sale price is recorded at closing, after the contract is signed and after the supply of competing homes has shaped the negotiation, so price measures tend to trail the others. Affordability and the mix of homes selling also shape prices. Naples has moved in that order over the past 18 months, and there is no guarantee it continues.

September's pending count matters for that reason. Contracts were the first measure to turn up, and one month below last year does not yet set a direction.
Naples Pending Sales Fell Below Last Year in September
Pending sales count homes that went under contract during the month. Naples recorded 545 in September 2026, down 5.5% from 577 a year earlier. Pending sales had been above the year before for 16 months in a row, from May 2025 through August 2026.
The count fell 8.4% from August's 595. Pending sales fell from August to September in four of the last five years, so a monthly dip is common. The year-over-year decline is the new part, and one month is a short record.
Buyer traffic held above last year. Naples listings averaged 2.9 showings in September, up 7.4% from 2.7. Showings per listing has been above last year for 13 months in a row through September.
Naples Closings Came In Below Last Year
Naples recorded 557 closed sales in September 2026, down 4.1% from 581 a year earlier. Closings had been above the year before in every month from August 2025 through August 2026. Dollar volume came in at $699.9 million, up 20.3%.
Most of September's closings came from contracts signed in July and August, when Naples pending sales were still running above last year.
Higher Mortgage Rates Raised the Payment on a Median-Priced Naples Home
The 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.03% in the week of September 24, 2026, according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, compared with 6.66% in late August and 6.30% a year earlier. The October 1 survey reported 7.28%.
With 20% down on the September median of $599,000, a buyer would borrow $479,200. At 7.03%, principal and interest come to about $3,198 a month.
Est. monthly principal and interest
- September 2026$3,198/mo$599,000 median at 7.03%
- At last year’s rate$2,966/mo$599,000 median at 6.30%
- September 2025$2,823/mo$570,000 median at 6.30%
- At the October 1 rate$3,279/mo$599,000 median at 7.28%
Naples prices and rates both rose over the year, putting the payment on a median-priced home about $375 a month above the median-priced home a year earlier.
These figures exclude property taxes, insurance and association fees. The survey average is not a rate quote available to any particular buyer. Cash purchases, common in the upper price ranges, are not tied to a mortgage payment.
Naples Active Listings Fell for the Seventh Month in a Row
Naples had 3,916 active listings in September 2026, down 20.3% from 4,914 a year earlier. The count has fallen every month since February, when it reached 6,399. It has been below last year for 10 months in a row through September.
New listings came in at 971, close to the 976 recorded a year earlier and up from 764 in August. Last year, new listings rose from 976 in September to 1,555 in October as sellers listed ahead of the winter season.
Published months of supply was 5.3, unchanged from August and down from 7.8 a year earlier. The measure divides active listings by a 12-month sales pace. Four to six months is generally read as balanced, and September falls in the slowest part of the local calendar.
Homes sold in a median 71 days on market, down from 84 a year earlier.
Naples Price Per Square Foot Rose 2.5% Over September 2025
Price per square foot is the sale price divided by the home's living area. It helps compare months when the homes that sold were bigger or smaller than usual. A waterfront home, or one on a bigger lot, usually sells for more per square foot than a similar house without those features. So if more of those homes sell in a given month, the number can go up even if home values haven't changed. In a city with homes from $200,000 condos to multimillion-dollar estates, that mix matters.
Naples came in at $329 in September 2026, up from $321 a year earlier and from $321 in August.
| Month | Price per Sq. Ft. | Change From Last Year |
|---|---|---|
| April 2026 | $349 | +0.9% |
| May 2026 | $340 | +0.6% |
| June 2026 | $340 | +1.5% |
| July 2026 | $333 | +3.7% |
| August 2026 | $321 | −0.6% |
| September 2026 | $329 | +2.5% |
Before April, price per square foot had been below the year before in every month of the previous year. Five of the last six months above it is a consistent run, with one month of interruption.
In four of the last five years, Naples price per square foot fell from August to September. This year it rose 2.5%.
The September figure is still below the $337 and $335 recorded in September 2023 and September 2024. September's $329 sits between last year's $321 and those earlier readings.
The median sale price was $599,000, up 5.1% from $570,000 a year earlier and up from $589,500 in August.
Sellers Received a Larger Share of Their Asking Price
Sellers received a median 95.7% of their most recent asking price, up from 94.6% a year earlier. The sale-to-list ratio has been above last year for six months in a row through September. It uses the list price in place when the home went under contract, so it measures where closings landed. It is not a target for an individual offer.
First-Attempt and Relisted Homes Performed Differently
Across closings in the 120 days through October 1, 2026, Naples homes that sold on their first listing attempt had a median 78 days on market. Homes that sold after relisting accumulated a median 246 days across their attempts. Those figures cover 2,214 and 477 closings respectively. The window had 2,752 closings in all. The other 61 sold on their first listing with no days on market recorded, so they are left out of the day counts. The 17.3% relisted share below is measured against all 2,752.
First-attempt homes sold at a median $600,000. Relisted homes opened at a median $677,900 and closed at a median $625,000, a median per-home difference of $63,995. Relisted homes made up 17.3% of closings in the window.
The two groups differ in price, property type, condition and seller circumstances. The figures show how each group performed, and they do not establish that relisting caused the difference.
Naples carried a Re-list Rate of 25.5%, up from 23.4% in August. That covers 1,013 of the 3,973 active listings in Worthington's address-matched export with an expired, withdrawn or terminated record at the same address in the past 12 months. Of those, 49.2% came back at least 3% below the prior asking price. The other 50.8% returned at the same price or with a smaller cut.
When a home returns to the MLS under a new listing, its days-on-market counter starts over at zero. A buyer should check a listing's full history before treating it as new.
Naples Competitive Inventory and Ask-Bid Gap
Competitive Inventory is Worthington's screening view of active listings. It counts homes listed fewer than 180 days, except relisted homes that came back less than 3% below their prior price. Buyers can still consider the homes it sets aside. It uses a three-month closing pace, while published months of supply uses all listings and a 12-month pace.
On Naples' three-month pace of 621.7 closings a month, all 3,973 export listings read 6.4 months. Setting aside the 1,034 listings past the 180-day mark brings that to 4.7 months. Also setting aside relisted homes that came back less than 3% lower leaves 2,466 listings at 4.0 months.
The Ask-Bid Gap compares asking prices with recent sale prices, both per square foot. Naples ran 10.3% citywide, with active listings asking $370.70 against $332.34 on closings over the past 120 days.
By price range, the reading was 7.8% under $400,000 and 4.3% from $400,000 to $750,000. It was 5.7% from $750,000 to $1.5 million and 23.8% above $1.5 million, on 930 active listings and 491 closings.
The active and sold homes are different properties. They can differ in condition, location, age and finish, so the reading is not an offer discount.

Source: FGCMLS (preliminary). Proprietary metrics use Worthington's address-matched property export, so active-listing denominators differ slightly from the published MLS counts in Table 1. Competitive Inventory MOI divides the filtered active-listing count by the city's total trailing-three-month closing pace. It is a supplemental indicator and is not calculated the same way as published MLS months of supply. Competitive Inventory uses a 180-day cutoff beginning with this report. Earlier reports used 90 days, so those figures should not be compared directly. This month, Pending-to-Active counts every home under contract on October 1, including contracts signed more than 120 days ago. We usually count only the past 120 days.
September 2026 Results for Naples Featured Communities
Each profile covers the 120 days from June 3 through October 1, 2026. The table compares each community with the August 2026 profiles and with the same 120 days in 2025. "Flat" means no change at all. Sale-to-list changes show in percentage points. Back-to-back 120-day windows share most of their sales, so a run of monthly readings should be read as one ongoing trend.
Each month we count pending homes whose contracts were signed in the past 120 days. This month we also pulled every pending home, to see how many contracts had been open longer than that. The current under-contract counts below include all pending homes, regardless of when the contracts were signed. Comparisons with August use the usual 120-day count, so they line up. "Spring" means the 120 days ending May 1, 2026, the same length as the current window. Months of supply can rise when the recent sales pace slows, so some narratives also show the figure at the spring pace. That figure is an illustration only, not a forecast or a seasonal adjustment. Each profile also shows Competitive Inventory and the Re-list Rate, figured the same way as the city numbers. Competitive Inventory months use the community's 120-day sales pace.
Lely Resort
Lely Resort homes sold at a median $713,000 over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. The 66 sales ranged from $235,000 to $3,500,000.

The Re-list Rate was 27.6%, up 8.5 points from August, with 29 of the 105 listed before in the past year. September's 18 sales typically closed at 88.0% of their first asking price, about $74,950 below it. The median has been above last year for 3 months in a row through September.
In September, Lely Resort had 18 closings, and 13 needed at least one price cut. Two Ole condos with about $17,340 in annual fees took the deepest discounts, closing at 72% and 75% after three and six cuts. An Ole villa sold in 11 days at its full asking price.
Sales slowed from 96 closings in spring to 66 now, a bigger summer drop than last year, and homes under contract fell to 18 from 26 in August. At the spring pace, today's listings would be about four and a half months of supply. Over the past 120 days, 11 Ole sales had a $325,000 median and five Lakoya sales $1,700,000.
The Vineyards
The Vineyards homes sold at a median $665,000 over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. The 41 sales ranged from $260,000 to $2,500,000.

On October 1, 52 homes were for sale and 11 were under contract, for about 5.1 months of supply. Competitive Inventory was 38 of those listings, about 3.7 months. The Re-list Rate was 23.1%, up 7.3 points from August, with 12 of the 52 listed before in the past year. September's eight sales typically closed at 92.9% of their first asking price, about $67,000 below it. The median has been below last year for 5 months in a row through September.
In September, The Vineyards had eight closings, six of them cash, and four were relists. Two homes sold in five days: a furnished lakefront condo in Avellino Isles and a pool home on the lake in Villa Florenza. The slower sales included older homes. A 1990 Tra Vigne condo took 216 days, and a 1989 Valley Oak pool home needed three price cuts to close at 78% of its first asking price.
Sales slowed from 69 closings in spring to 41 now, a bigger summer drop than last year. Listings jumped 36.8% from August, and months of supply rose from 2.9 to 5.1, so sellers face more competition than a month ago.
Esplanade Golf and Country Club
Esplanade Golf and Country Club homes sold at a median $1,007,500 over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. The 28 sales ranged from $385,000 to $3,700,000.

Four of the six carried a bundled golf membership, and annual fees ran from $15,030 to $21,462.
Sales held up through summer, with 29 closings in spring and 28 now, and listings have fallen two months in a row.
Isles of Collier Preserve
Isles of Collier Preserve homes sold at a median $1,045,000 over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. The 45 sales ranged from $470,000 to $3,845,000.

The Re-list Rate was 22.5%, up 1.9 points from August, with 9 of the 40 listed before in the past year. September's nine sales typically closed at 93.9% of their first asking price, about $50,000 below it. The median and the number of sales have been above last year for 7 months in a row through September.
In September, Isles of Collier Preserve had nine closings, all cash. Pool homes on the water sold quickly. A 2,390-square-foot home sold the day it listed for $1,850,000. A 2,646-square-foot home and a pool villa each sold within 10 days at 94% to 100% of their first asking price. A 2023 condo without a pool or water view took 123 days and closed at 86%. One lakefront home sold at 82% with an $18,540 seller concession.
The median of the homes that sold is 32.0% above the same stretch last year. That figure does not mean a typical home here gained 32%. Sales slowed from 56 closings in spring to 45 now, close to last year's summer drop.
Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay homes sold at a median $1,310,000 over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. The 103 sales ranged from $199,000 to $21,000,000.

On October 1, 112 homes were for sale and 15 were under contract, for about 4.3 months of supply. Competitive Inventory was 63 of those listings, about 2.4 months. The Re-list Rate was 26.8%, up 7.8 points from August, with 30 of the 112 listed before in the past year. September had 29 sales. The 26 with a first asking price on record typically closed at 90.6% of it, about $117,500 below. The sale-to-list ratio has been above last year for 6 months in a row, and the number of sales has been above it for 3 months in a row through September.
Of the 29, 23 were cash sales, and most were condos. Gulf-view high-rise units sold across a wide range. A Marbella unit sold in 11 days at 94% of its first asking price, while a Carlysle unit took three price cuts to close at 71%. Annual fees on high-rise sales ran from $17,775 to $74,667, a major part of the cost of owning here. Eight of the 29 were relists.
More homes are closing here than a year ago, at a lower median: sales are up 32.1% and the median of the homes that sold is 10.9% lower. Sales slowed from 152 closings in spring to 103 now, and homes under contract fell to 15 from 28 in August. With fees that far apart, sales in the same building make the closest comparison.
Grey Oaks
Grey Oaks homes sold at a median $3,475,000 over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. The 12 sales ranged from $1,750,000 to $13,000,000.
| September 2026 | vs. August | vs. last year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median sold price | $3,475,000 | ↓ 18.2% | ↑ 11.2% |
| Homes sold (120 days) | 12 | ↓ 29.4% | ↑ 33.3% |
| Sellers received (of final asking price) | 98.4% | ↑ 3.0 pts | ↑ 8.4 pts |
On October 1, 12 homes were for sale and 2 were under contract, for about 4.0 months of supply. Competitive Inventory was 7 of those listings, about 2.3 months. The Re-list Rate was 16.7%, up 6.7 points from August, with 2 of the 12 listed before in the past year. There were no September sales. The median and the sale-to-list ratio have been above last year for 6 months in a row through September.
In September, Grey Oaks had no closings.
The median fell 18.2% from August. Two Traditions sales had a $2,112,500 median and two Estuary sales $10,125,000 over the same 120 days, so the community median can swing widely depending on which enclaves sell. Sales are running ahead of last year, with 12 closings against nine a year ago.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Naples home prices going up?
Price per square foot was $329 in September 2026, up 2.5% from a year earlier and above last year in five of the last six months. The median sale price rose 5.1% to $599,000.
Why did prices rise when contracts fell?
Sale prices are recorded at closing, weeks after the contract. September's closings mostly reflect contracts from July and August, when pending sales were still above last year.
How long did Naples homes take to sell in September 2026?
The median was 71 days, down from 84 a year earlier. First-attempt sales over the past 120 days took a median 78 days, against 246 for relisted homes across all attempts.
Is 5.3 months of supply a buyer's market or a seller's market?
Four to six months is generally read as balanced. Conditions differ by price range, and the Ask-Bid Gap above $1.5 million ran 23.8%.
What to Watch in Naples in October
Pending sales are the first number to watch, because contracts turned first on the way up. Naples recorded 635 new contracts in October 2025. A count above that would return pending sales to growth after one month below. A second month below would be the first back-to-back months below the year before since spring 2025.
Price per square foot is the second. It was $327 in October 2025, and a reading above that level would make six of the last seven months above last year.
A Naples pricing decision still depends on the community, building, price range, condition and closest comparable sales.
